Ryan Stanford completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Stanford's responses.
| Collapse all
- I value public education and will ensure taxpayer money continues to go to public schools and stays within them. Charter schools run by out-of-state corporations or paying for school vouchers only benefits the wealthy and select few it doesn't benefit the majority of Kentuckians.
- Women's Rights continues to be resurfacing in a way meant to diminish the hard earned rights women should have always had. I oppose the extremist who believe the government and not women and their doctors should be in charge of their healthcare decisions.
- I will work for us- not corporations and their lobbyists who rig the system against working Kentucky families. I support unions, workers rights, and the working Kentuckians maintaining rights and a voice in workplaces.
